I may have asked you before. I had two of them (one just like this from Clean Run) and another that I got at a flyball tourney...both with padded collars. One broke, and Oreo chewed the other one. I'd just like one that has a rope collar, like your normal martingale...but one that wouldn't keep choking, if I needed to use it on my own dogs (they aren't used to slip leads/collars). I use the LMO slip leads for stupid eejit dogs that might escape when I'm walking them to and from the van. But this, I would use for my own dogs. Figgy has a little one...but I don't have one for my big dogs anymore. (Oh, and I wouldn't care if it had a slider or not)
